If like me you prefer to leave certain things to the imagination, favouring the erotic rather than the pornographic, then Destination Sex City is a DVD to check out.
A compilation of nine short erotic films that fuse animation, art, graphic design and pornography into a visual indulgence unlike any other. Stylishly designed and packaged [...]

Solar heats up Goldfrapp
Trying to find time to process and post on the amazing advancedbeauty.com project. In the meantime, came across Solar, a lovely experimental video (audio = Lovely Head by Goldfrapp) by flight404, one of the contributors to that dvd/sound-moving image installation project.

Volume filled by UVA
Long being a fan of UnitedVisualArtists (see the interview in an older post), its great to see their work standing in it’s own right, rather than in service to concert environments, etc. Volume at the V&A hits all the right notes for an advanced environmental moving image.

Couple of years ago, I did a test DVD, Flare, for an ambient visuals product. We had fun building a prototype but it was too early to market.
Now plastic.tv feels like it is at the right time to capitalize on this area. plastic.tv is a nifty niche video-on-demand portal for video art that plays [...]
Colder and UVA dance To The Music
Colder’s To The Music video by UVA is a striking promo treatment where sound and image are totally in keeping with each other. I’ve worked with and commissioned pieces from Colder’s Marc Nguyen Tan previously (he has a background as an art director, creating impressive graphic and motion pieces as Dotmov and le cabinet), [...]

Lightborne
Foret Bleue

Eduoard Salier
Arvind Palep
More live action/photorealistic hybrids here compared to the abstract tendency [...]
